Interesting, I thought their beaks were just some hard material, like our nails. Didn't know that there's bloodflow there.

Most of the veins visible on the beak are for the interior lining of the mouth. You are right in that it's similar to our nails

Fun fact: The inside of the upper beak is where taste buds are located for parrots. Scientists are still studying to find out if this is the case for all types of birds or just some species.
